| Rather
Low Ratings |
SFgate.com reports: While critics have praised
changes made to the "CBS Evening News" since Bob Schieffer took over for
Dan Rather last month, viewers clearly haven't been intrigued.
The show's average of 6.1 million viewers
last week was the lowest since Nielsen Media Research began measurement
with "people meters" in 1987 — and likely the lowest for many years before
that. Evening news viewership was much higher from the 1960s to 1980s than
it is now. [see full story for more]- Click

top 30 programs last week were situation comedies and one of them CBS'
"Everybody Loves Raymond" ends its network run next month. The only other
top-rated sitcom: "Two and a Half Men."
But the ratings are otherwise dominated
by drama and reality, with comedy at a low ebb. [see full story for more]-

Jane Attacked |
AP reports: A man spit tobacco juice into
the face of Jane Fonda after waiting in line to have her sign her new memoir.
Capt. Rich Lockhart of the Kansas City Police Department said Michael A.
Smith, 54, was arrested Tuesday night on a municipal charge of disorderly
conduct.
Smith, a Vietnam veteran, told The Kansas
City Star Wednesday that Fonda was a "traitor" and that her protests against
the Vietnam War were unforgivable. He said he doesn't chew tobacco but
did so Tuesday solely to spit juice on the actress.
"I consider it a debt of honor," he told
The Star for a story on its Web site. "She spit in our faces for 37 years.
It was absolutely worth it. There are a lot of veterans who would love
to do what I did." [see full story for more]- Click
